D23 Droolin'

I am not at D23 Expo this weekend (aka, "The Ultimate Disney Fan Event" over in Anaheim), but I'm so loving all the coverage on social media! And while most folks are only talking about the new Star Wars land announcements, I'm all about the art, new merch, and cosplay. So for those you who don't have time to obsessively stalk social media like me right now, here are a few of my favorites so far:

Miss Mindy debuted a new Showcase Collection this weekend, and her Cogsworth and Lumiere figures have COMPLETELY STOLEN MY HEART:

I have no idea on the price or availability of these little guys, but ermergersh. NEEED.[Update: You can pre-order them here, only $30 each!]

I've been hyped about AmberSkies Cosplay's new Te Ka cosplay from Moana since the moment she started posting teaser images on Facebook. She just debuted it for D23, and sure enough, she and SunChild Cosplay's Tefiti won the "Mousequerade" cosplay contest on Friday!

Te Ka is one of my favorite characters ever - she's such a powerful, gut-punching metaphor for a wounded heart - and from the moment I first saw Moana I've wanted to see her cosplayed, and cosplayed well. So I see this terrifying smoke demon and actually get a bit teary. WHAT.

D23 is still going strong, so check back later for more; I'll probably keep adding new goodies to this post through Monday. And please show me YOUR favorite finds, in case I missed something! (You can share pics and links over on the Epbot Facebook page, or just link here in the comments.)

SUNDAY UPDATE:

Phew! Quite a ride with all those park updates, huh? Here a few more pretty nuggets to cross my feeds:

This is definitely the year of great Snow White merchandise. Look at this gorgeous notebook:
